    how much blood/gore can you handle in a video game before it becomes too much? id much rather you don't go into specific examples of blood/gore (because gross) but rather explain your tolerance levels for it.

    I feel like the most I could ever tolerate was in the Devil May Cry games tbh

    .... that's probably not a whole lot compared to other games out there isn't it? I'm just kind of a squeamish person. :x
     
    I've never played something so gross I've stopped playing. I always turned the blood up on Tony Hawk games because it was funny but i guess that's different to gore.

    They should add gore to sports games like PES.
     
    There's a time and a place. Seeing grotesque body horror in a Mario game would be pretty unsettling, but in Resident Evil it's par for the course. As long as the amount of blood/gore matches the thematic elements of the game, I don't see there being 'too much', really.
     
    I don't mind too much, but I do have a limit.
    An example would be in Mortal Kombat with those X-Rays. Oh god that scares me..
    Also anything that has to do with organs. No thanks I don't want any. X_X
    But blood in general is fine I guess.
     
    I remember back in last year's E3 (?) iirc The Last of Us 2 was shown or something and it had this really bloody scene that I could barely stand to see. idk if that's part for the course for that game in particular but it really put me off touching that game. ._.
     
    i haven't played a lot of games with excessive amounts of blood. i can tolerate it as long as it's not all over the place though. like persona 5 had a few bloody scenes, one of which very intense, and i survived. lol
     
    I'm easily grossed out in all honesty; it took me a while to get used to the blood splashes in Monster Hunter, of all games. But I agree that context matters too. The Witcher 3 made me unbearably disgusted at times, but it was never completely off-putting because... I can't exactly explain why, but the gore was alright because it seemed to make sense in the context it was presented.

    Definitely not true for Mortal Kombat though. I made the mistake of popping in at a lunch table in high school when Mortal Kombat X came out, and I couldn't handle the total, needless brutality of the Fatalities for longer than half a minute. One that I saw in particular is still burned into my mind, and it makes me sick if I dwell on it too long to this day.
